@Discord, I just finished watching FIM Season 9 today. Here's what I thought of the last 7 episodes of the series. (I watched the episodes before the finale a couple weeks ago, but waited for some time before I watched the last three.)
Horse Shoe-in: This one was just ok. I didn't like how Starlight made Trixie move on even though some of the decisions she made during the test weren't that well thought out. However, I did like that Starlight eventually came to her senses and made Trixie Student Council instead of Vice Head-Mare. The ending was also quite abrupt and rushed.
Daring Doubt: Hmm…I didn't really care for this one too much. Fluttershy made the wrong move by joining Daring Do's worst enemy and his army on their quest, though I did like that RD and Daring Do joined forces to save her. The ending was also quite skeptical, and although the problem was solved, it was done in a way that toke too many risks.
Growing Up is Hard to Do: I loved this episode! The first thing I latched onto was how upon wishing they were grown up, The CMC still acted like children, to the point where they kind of reminded me of one of my siblings, who had a rebellious streak during his teen years and didn't trust others. I also liked the song, and by the end of it, The CMC realized that there's still a lot they need to learn before they actually grow up.
Big Mac Question: This one was slightly good. I liked how each character how their own side of the story to tell, as it showed how each of them prepared for Big Mac and Sugar Belle's ceremony. However, Discord caused a lot more trouble than necessary with his apple monsters. I also liked how everyone was able to overcome this mistake, and that the ceremony still went pretty well despite all the problems that arised.
Ending of the End: The first part was just ok, but I thought the second part was pretty good! The final battle between the Mane 6, The Student 6, The Princesses, Discord, and many others VS. Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow wasn't just epic, it was Phenomenal! There was so much action, and Pinkie had hit the Peak of Funniness! I also liked how it wasn't an easy fight, as the characters had to realize that together, their friendships are stronger than any power alone.
The Last Problem: This one was very sentimental and heartwarming. Luster Dawn reminded me of how I acted during my teen years, when all my friends from elementary school drifted away from me and I mainly focused on my studies. This episode also reminded me a bit of G3 MLP, which has a special place in my heart. Yes, I know liking G3 is weird, but it holds a lot of nostalgia within me. And after watching this, I had a newfound appreciation for G4 and everything about it. So now there's two versions of MLP that I'll make sure to cherish for the rest of my life!
I'm so glad you convinced me to watch this show again after so much time without it. You really made me see that even though I haven't seen everything, I still like these characters, and someday, I might watch all the episodes I have yet to see in this series.
Sincerely, Toadettefan.
